Waterfall Oasis
House was located super close to a beautiful hike with waterfall views and minutes from a small unique little town. The house seemed bigger from the pictures but was still a good size for the five of us. It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay and the hosts quickly responded with any concerns.

Excellent place and community
Our family enjoyed our stay here. The home is exactly as described in the listing. The owner has everything set up in the kitchen so do not bring a lot of condiments or seasonings as everything you need is already there.. We also enjoyed the wildlife in the area and there is a Fox that paid us a visit on a couple days.. We would definitely stay here again.

Mountain Symphony Retreat
My husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren ages 4 and 2 had a wonderful time in this “mountain symphony” cabin. The place is surrounded by mountains and fully stocked with pots, pans, spices, extra towels, you name it! A brook runs alongside the road and the perfect waterfall hike is just 300 yards away! We were also less than 30 minutes from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We will be back!

Loved It!
There's really nothing bad to say about this place. The guest room is definitely smaller and less luxurious than the master, but the king beds in both rooms make up for that. Pam emailed me ahead of time, worked with me on preparing for our first night since we got there very late, and it went smoothly. Beautiful, clean, in a quaint little town.

Property was well located and in a quiet area. Hiking is available right out the door, and close to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs with many dining and hiking options. Pikes Peak is nearby.

We love hosting and appreciate the kind comment on the house. I believe the guest was speaking of the "okay" neighborhood you drive through to get to the Trout Creek Reserve. The reserve covers 39 acres of alpine meadow land and wooded mountains. It is named for the trout stream that flows through it. There are two secluded homes in the reserve with Trout Creek Estate being one. The reserve is private and used exclusively by our guests.

Beautiful, convenient mountain retreat
We traveled to Green Mountain Falls with our two young children for a break from the Texas heat. The house is gorgeous, quiet, clean and quite new. We used the office for the toddler's room with the packnplay Pam had set up for us. There was even a step stool so littles could reach to wash their hands. Pam's reccomendations for age appropriate local activities for our young family were perfect and her dining out list was perfect. We ate at the Pantry and Blue Moose Tavern several times and enjoyed the patio dining. There are so many attractions and dining options within just a few miles of this beautiful home. The location is beyond convenient and is at a higher elevation than Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs so the evenings are noticeably cooler. You can go to activities and meals in more populated areas and come unwind in the quiet at the cabin. We loved quiet evenings, mornings and afternoons during the afternoon rain storms at the house. I if you're cooped up for longer than you'd like, Pam has stocked the house with books, games, movies and there's excellent wifi and television service. The Lake and playground were a frequent stop of ours in Green Mountain Falls. This little town and cabin is wonderful!

Falling for Green Mountain Falls
We had an absolutely perfect stay here in Green Mountain Falls. The cabin is just an absolute gem with everything you could possibly need and more. Our family of 6 (myself, my husband, 4 kids aged 6 to 16 years old) had plenty of space to spread out after spending time in the gorgeous outdoors of the surrounding area. The cabin was perfectly clean, well organized, and thoughtfully planned out. The only things we didn't use were the TVs...there is just too much to see and do that nobody even asked to turn them on! We loved the location feeling tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but also close to everything. The suggestions provided by the hosts of different hiking trails, things to do, and places to eat were very useful, and we referred to the binder often! I only wish we had more time there! We would absolutely love to come back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!

A week in the mountains
The house was in a cute little town and perfect location to all the touristy attractions we did. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels. We loved watching the deer that visited daily in the backyard. The yard chairs have thick cushions so since it rained every day we couldn’t really sit outside and enjoy the weather, would recommend switching out to Adirondack chairs. Would also recommend blinds in the kitchen area for privacy when the sun goes down. Just suggestions. Overall the house fit our needs perfectly.

Beautiful vacation rental
Our family of 4 enjoyed a six day stay. The house was clean and well equipped with all that we needed. We enjoyed hiking in Green Mountain Falls. The location was quiet and felt a little more secluded than other places we have stayed in CO, but it was relaxing and still close to the destinations we visited:Garden or the Gods, Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, North Pole Amusement park. We’d definitely have no hesitations recommending this property.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Jul 2022
The guest requested a highchair and pack n play. They were, unfortunately, not placed in the house for her stay which is a part of our housekeeping process. We apologize for this oversight. The house is in a small mountain village, Green Mountain Falls, that is populated by summer cabins and mountain homes randomly sited on the sides of two mountains flanking the village. The most recent Town and Country magazine featured Green Mountain Falls as “a tiny Colorado mountain town about to become the starriest art mecca of summer”.

We very much enjoyed this updated home in a wonderful location. The house has a modern and cozy feel and is close to local dining and hiking trails. It was a perfect central location for seeing all the nearby sites. My only suggestions for improvements are a more comfortable mattress in the primary bedroom and a bluetooth speaker for music.

Wonderful home in a neat community
The house was very clean and everyone had their own space. I loved the skylight in the master bath. My sons and I took hikes around the community. We ate at The Moose Bar and Grill, The Pantry and The Mucky Duck. They were "hole in the wall" type restaurants but they were amazing (especially The Pantry). I loved the proximity of the house to Manitou Springs, Pikes Peak, Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls, etc. Most drives were within 15 minutes to do anything and there was plenty to do. Manitou Springs was also a favorite of our family with the penny arcades, Hell's Kitchen pizza and the ice cream we strolled around with in the evening. Truly enjoyed it!

Perfectly designed and beautiful Home in Green mountain falls, Co! We so enjoyed our stay at Mountian Symphony home. It was very well stocked with high end dishware, pots, pans - coffee maker and coffee cream and sugar were already there. High end linens and towels. Comfortable bedding. Only a four step stair inside to bath and bedrooms. Outside has Easy access to home inside and out. Only a few steps for those with limited mobility. The Banta’s are so sweet and very responsive to help with anything you need. If you get a chance, this home should be at the top of your list to stay!
